Xbox & Bethesda Showcase no-shows: late 2023 and beyond

I really wish Fable would have showed up. I'm so hyped for the reboot coming to Game Pass day one.

Give me Goldeneye 007!

Fable, Avowed, ES 6, Perfect Dark, 007 and Contraband are the ones that interest me, but I feel like there is more than enough games coming out in the next 12 months to keep me busy.

What happened to the Master chief-like collection everyone was speculating about?

Give me Banjo 3

I was surprised we didn't see or hear anything about Deathloop coming to Xbox after it's console exclusivity ends.

The whole event was mostly "look at all the third party titles coming to game pass", sprinkled with a few first party titles. Where's the big announcements for games we have to wait a few years for? What the hell are Microsoft doing? And where's the supposed first party titles Microsoft keep assuring us is under development? Most games listed above were announced 2 years ago and back then they said "we have more games", where are they?

Sigmar Bless said:I don't think Gears would survive that, if it were handled the same way. It would need to be perfect at launch, something which rarely happens in the current AAA industry.

As for the list, I agree with every title on it. For people wanting Avowed, I can highly recommend Graven (currently only on PC as it's still in development)

The streets are saying Avowed had to restart development so I'm not sure if it's just a volume issue at Obsidian Entertainment.

I get this terrible feeling that the Indiana Jones game won't ever be released. I just feel like it's one of those games that gets hyped up before the game even enters development and then it quietly gets canceled.

I really hope I'm wrong tho

Great article, btw

Sigmar Bless said:That may have been related to Gears of War? Hope we can hear something about that soon.

Alot of sites heavily indicated it was Gears related, maybe it wasn't ready.

BadRubberPiggy said:I was fully expecting Avowed to be promoted. What you say is not encouraging. It sounds like Obsidian’s reach has exceeded its grasp.

This is particularly the case because I feel Obsidian is at its best when it relies on a fictional universe someone else has created as with KOTOR II or Neverwinter 2. The Outer Worlds was lackluster compared to Fallout: New Vegas from which it was cloned.

My fear is that Obsidian has failed to come up with the necessary lore befitting such an ambitious open world RPG. The locales of the much smaller The Outer Worlds had a sameness to them & the game suffered from a cut & paste level design.

I could be wrong but it looks like Obsidian is trying to juggle too many projects at the same time.

Spring Shields said:+1 The Gears promo trailers are some of the best in the business.

Fingers crossed for the Fenix Collection.

This is the list of games I’m most interested in.
